Have you ever gotten really close to flipping your rig forward onto its roof? If not go prerunner

Very few people are going to actually need a REAL stinger. People who might actually need a stinger has it tied into an EXO cage. It needs to be able to support most the weight of your rig. Go prerunner.

Fabrication is reserved for completed and under going projects, not for questions and general chat about fabrication.

This is NOT the location for questions about what you want to do, they belong in cherokee chat. This is NOT the location for trimming fenders, rattle canning your xj, lift questions, installing new carpet or anything small like this. This is for REAL fab work that you are currently doing or have done and how you did it. AKA, Exocages, Frame stiffeners, Bumpers, DIY beadlocks, etc.
pretty easy to understand...for me anyways.

I'd build one with a 6 foot long stinger made out of electrical conduit.

LOL. I had a 4' stinger on my old k5. I ran into many walls with that thing.

Jesus! Those guys are ****ing idiots. I'm glad the guy in red doing all the talking was there or they would have ****ed that thing up.

I don't understand how some people have such a hard time grasping the concept of recovery.

It's extremely obvious that as soon as they started pulling that single line at that angle it was just going to swing on over to the ground....

I am amazed this thread hasnt been moved.


As for the recovery WTF was the driver still doing in the rig... I think I would lay it on its side then flip it back over.
